Welcome in Fall with Bittersweet Vines & Berries for your Front Porch

This simple swag wreath took just minutes to make. All you need are a few bittersweet vines and berries and some twine. That's it! So simple, so sweet - bursting with autumn color! Bittersweet vines and berries are a warm welcome for any front door this fall.

Added note: Bittersweet stains very easily, so be careful when using them. I also learned that Bittersweet is very invasive and should be discarded in a sealed plastic bag. Here is a great article on Bittersweet, about it's beauty and invasive nature - http://www.yankeemagazine.com/home/garden/b...

Hi Rita - I did not have problems with staining , but was told they stain very easily , so when using them you want to be very careful. There are no stains on my white door or any scratches - I have an pretty hardy oil based paint on my door and it

does not scratch easily. My front door is also southern facing and gets hours and hours of direct sun, so the berries are dried now - but still look great. That was a great question about staining, I'm going to add a note to my post on my blog. Thank you.
